CONDITIONS OF SALE 


__L Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be ,rejected by 
the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

II. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

III. Identification and devosit by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot shall 
be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
ecard giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 

A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices aS may be required. : 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so pur- 
chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter the property is at the purchasers’ risk, and neither the consignor nor the 
Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, 
breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. 

V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon 
payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

VI. Receipted bills: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted 
bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order 
by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a 
receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should 
immediately notify the Association of such loss. 

_. VII. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not 
paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following 
that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried te 
and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, 
and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against 
the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
be upon the purchaser. 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the 
day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any 
other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots 
included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to 
re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the 
buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses 
sustained in so doing. 

VIII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to pur- 
chasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; 
doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and 
charges of the parties engaged for such service. 

IX. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, 
defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and 
no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloging or imper- 
fection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘‘as is’ and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Asso- 
ciation will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that 
any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot 
as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become 
responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 

X. Records: The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to 
be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and 
seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie. 

XI. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if conditions permit, 
will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made 
will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase 
of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his 
agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be 
returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded 
if the lot differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as 
{o leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, 
but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the 
lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of arts, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Asso- 
ciation, a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also 
be given. 

Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copy- 
ing the necessary information from the records of the Association. 

These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or by an officer 
of the Association.

London, 1825 


AN EXQUISITE ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWING BY BLAKE, IN BEAUTIFUL 
STATE OF PRESERVATION, UNTOUCHED BY TIME. 

The sketch shows the central group of Job and his three daughters in 
practically the same attitude as the published print, with the exception 
that the figure to the right has her hands crossed between her knees in 
place of resting on Job’s knee as in the engraving, and the head of the 
figure to the left of Job is more raised, with the eyes uplifted. To the 
right and left of the group are shown sheep lying on the ground. These 
do not appear in the engraving, in which the foreground is made to 
represent an inlaid floor instead of the green grass of the drawing. 
The background in the finished engraving shows various symbolic 
designs on a paneled wall, these designs are only faintly indicated in 
pencil and wash on the drawing. 

The accompanying Inpta Proors of the title-page and of the plate 
from the drawing are very fine impressions and in excellent preserva- 
tion. THE COMBINATION OF THE ENGRAVED PROOF PLATE AND BLAKE’S 
ORIGINAL SKETCH FOR THE SAME IS MOST EXCEPTIONAL.

First Session, Wednesday Afternoon, April 30th 


| No. 209—Continued | . 
THE FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION. AND THE FIRST TRANSLATION IN ANY 
LANGUAGE. Part II, according to a letter tu the Atheneum (July 5, 
1873) by Mr. Rawdon Brown, has traces both of “As you like it,” and 
“Macbeth.” 

No printed title was issued to the first volume, but only to the 
second. Both the engraved frontispieces are bright perfect impressions. 

Shelton’s translation of Don Quixote has become an English classic 
for the vigor of its English, and is on this account the translation 
selected by many of the modern book clubs for republication, as a 
worthy companion to Florio and the Elizabethan translators and adap- 
ters. The lost play “Cardenio” (ascribed to Fletcher) was evidently 
founded on this translation by Shelton. 

Duffield, in the preface to his own translation, shows that Shelton 
based his work on the Brussels edition of 1607. He also shows by pa- 
rallel passages how infinitely Shelton is preferable to the other trans- 
lators of the Seventeenth and Highteenth Centuries, such as Phillips, 
Motteux, Jarvis, and Smollett, all of whom defile the work with coarse. 
ness and buffoonery not found in the original. Jarvis, in the preface to 
his translation, accuses Shelton of having translated not from. the 
original, but from the Italian version of Francoisini. That this accu- 
sation was unjust is evident from the fact that Francoisini’s version 
did not appear till nine years after Shelton’s had been published. 

From the Robert Hoe collection, with bookplate in each volume.

COMPLETE SET OF THE 88 WEEKLY PARTS 


368. DicKENS (CHARLES). Master Humphrey’s Clock. With illustrations, 
by George Cattermole and Hablot Kk. Browne. COMPLETE IN 
THE ORIGINAL Roya 8vo, 88 WEEKLY NUMBERS, each in white 
pictorial wrappers, uncut, wrappers of 3 parts loose. Enclosed 


in three cloth pull-off cases. 
London: Chapman and Hall, 1840-1841 


First EDITION IN THE MOST DESIRABLE FORM, THAT OF THE WEEKLY 
PARTS. Contains the Advertisements and the ‘‘Addresses,” which ap- 
pear in numbers 9, 80, 81, 82, 883 and 87. “In the last number [87] a 
postscript was added. Hxcepting in No. 9 the other notices were repe- 
titions in the nature of a farewell in view of the author’s contemplated. 
departure for America. A promise was also made that in November, 
1842, he would publish a novel of English life, ete. This referred to 
the story afterwards christened ‘Martin Chuzzlewit.’ The addresses 
were dated September, 1841, and the postscript November, 1841.” 

The inside of the front wrapper to Part 58 is quite interesting and 
important. On it, is an advertisement of “written Caricatures” by 
John Leech, with the vignettes illustrating this advertisement by him. 
A different illustration for the same work by Leech will be found on 
the back wrapper of Part 59, and repeated on wrappers of Parts 63 
and 67. 

From the time of the first issue until the end of “Barnaby Rudge,” 
there were actually four forms of publication, namely: In 88 weekly 
parts ; 20 monthly parts; the 3-volume edition, and the issue in sepa- 
rately bound volumes of the two stories. 

OF THE FOUR ISSUES THIS ONE, IN THE WEEKLY PARTS, IS THE MOST 
DIFFICULT TO PROCURE. THIS COPY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ABOVE 
MENTIONED DEFECTS, IS IN UNUSUALLY FINE CLEAN CONDITION.

First Epirion. ORIGINAL ISSUE. A SUPERB Copy. The familiar dis- 
tinguishing “point” commonly accepted as evidence of the first issue is 
the mistake of the artist in the sign on the mile-post in the vignette 
title of some copies which reads 100£ Reward, transposed for £100. 
This copy reads: “100£ Reward.” CoPIES WITH THIS ERROR, ARE SCARCE.

levant morocco solander case, gilt paneled back, with inner pro- 


tecting cloth wrapper on each volume, BY WALTERS. 
London, 1758 


First Epition oF GOLDSMITH’S FIRST BOOK. These are the Memoirs 
of Jean Marteilhe of Bergerac. Goldsmith took the name of James 
Wellington, an old classmate at Trinity College, from “prudential mo- 
tives,” and the book is actually a translation. 

From the E. N. Lapham and Walter Thomas Wallace collections, the 
latter collection having been sold by the American Art Association in 
1920, and contains Mr. Wallace’s bookplate in each volume. 


EARLIEST ISSUE OF THE FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL CALF 


571. [GotpsmirH (Oxtver).] The Vicar of Wakefield: A Tale. Sup- 
posed to be written by himself. 2 vols. 12mo, ORIGINAL CALF, 


neatly repaired at backs. 
Salisbury: Printed by B. Collins for F. Newbery, London, 1766 


First Eprrion. EARLIEST ISSUE, with the Salisbury imprint, the mis- 
print “Waeksfield” on page 95, and the erroneous pagination 165 for 
159, both occurring in Volume II. 

There is a later edition of the same year, but with the London im- 
print. The Salisbury edition was issued on March 27, 1766, the London 
edition on May 31, 1766. In the latter there are a few changes, not 
very material perhaps, but implying some tampering with certain sen- 
tences, which may or may not have been done by Goldsmith. 

In the“Vicar” appears for the first time Goldsmith’s “The Elegy on 
the Death of a Mad Dog.”

Hdition limited to 425 copies, printed in Chaucer type, in red and 
black, of which 48 copies were bound in white pigskin. 

THE MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT OF THE KELMSCOTT PRESS, AND 
A MASTERPIECE OF TYPOGRAPHY. Years before its publication, Mr. 
Morris had mentally projected an edition of Chaucer, which he hoped 
to produce in black letter type of special design. An announcement 
was circulated stating that there were to be 60 designs by Sir Edward 
Burne-Jones and that the issue would be limited to 325 copies, but at 
a later date, another circular was issued stating that the number of 
illustrations would be increased and the limitation extended to 425 
copies. Subscribers had the option of withdrawing their orders, but 
no one did so and the extra 100 copies were subscribed for immediately.

tion,” and “Letters of Marque No. 1.” Accordingly, Kipling had these 
three books suppressed, and only a few copies of each escaped when 
the stocks were destroyed.

ONLY ONE KNOWN IN SHEETS ;THE OTHER COPY, AS ISSUED, IS THE ONLY

890. |LaAmB (CHARLES).] Beauty and the Beast; or, A Rough Outside 


with a Gentle Heart. A Poetical Version of an Ancient Tale. 
Illustrated with a series of 8 engravings IN Coors. 16mo, OriG- 
INAL GRAY STIFF Wrappers, with the cut on the back wrapper, 
bound in full brown French levant morocco sides with triple gilt 
fillet borders, lettered on front cover, gilt paneled back, gilt inside 
borders, gilt edges, BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE. 
[Imprint at bottom of last leaf:] London: Printed by B. M’Mil- 
lan, Bow Street, Covent Garden [1811?] 


First Eprrion. EXTREMELY RARE IN ANY CONDITION. This copy has 
the cut with the inscription “Go be a Beast—Homer’” on the back cover. 
The front cover of the present copy differs from any of the covers 
of the three copies described by Mr. Livingston in his Bibliography of 
Lamb, but is identical, as to type, with the reproduction of the title- 
page of the “surprize”’ edition on page 112 of Mr. Livingston’s work. 
The present copy lacks the title and sheet of music. 

This is the so-called ‘‘Surprize’ variety. There were several edi- 
tions of “Beauty and the Beast” printed within a few years. The 
types were set throughout at least twice. Livingston in his Bibliog- 
raphy of Lamb says: “I have seen three varieties of covers, all of 
similar make-up and all apparently original. The variations in the two

settings are not sufficient to give any ground for granting priority to 
either. The most obvious are: 

Page 7, line 11 surprise—surprize 

Page 12, line 7 lord—Lord 

Page 17, line 4 journey’d—journied 

Page 18, line 11 Father’s—father’s 

Page 18, line 11 Heaven—heaven 

Page 20, line 4 Sire—sire 
Without hazarding any opinion as to priority, we may eall these the 
“Surprise” and “Surprize” varieties. Of the three copies, examined, 
one has the cut with the inscription,—‘Go be a Beast,—Homer,” on 
the front cover, with the back cover plain. The other has this cut 
on the back cover and a title set in type similar to the title-page, but 
with the date 1813, the whole enclosed in border of rosettes. The 
third has the same cut on the back cover and a type-printed cover of 
different setting, enclosed in key border. The date of the book has 
been usually ascribed to 1811.” 

The plate “The Enchantment Dissolved” has the watermark 
“TMAN/O” 

Written, in pencil, on the fly-leaf, is the following note,—The 
first printing is quite differently set up to that in subsequent issues. 
Tt varies on almost every page. The signature on B6 is omitted. 
The cover says “with Beauty’s song set to music” but only subsequent 
issues contain the music. There is another form of the first issue, 
with pink or yellow covers, containing a cut on the front cover of 
the fairy turning the Prince into a beast, with a quotation from Hor- 
ace “To be a beast” beneath. The setting up of the text is the same 
in both these forms of the first issue.

TIRELY Uncut, portions of backs remain. Enclosed in a full 
brown morocco solander case, with inner protecting cloth wrap- 
per, BY RIviirE. | London: Printed for Thomas Hodgkins, 1807 


First ISSUE OF THE First EDITION OF EACH VOLUME IN ORIGINAL 
BOARDS AND ENTIRELY UNCUT. Vol. 1 has the imprint of T. Davison on the 
reverse of p. 235. Vol. II has the correct advertisements at the end, 
“New Books for Children. Published by Thomas Hodgkins, at the 
Juvenile Library, Hanway Street [etc.],” with the notes dated 1805 
and 1806. 

BuT FEW COPIES ARE KNOWN IN THE ORIGINAL BOARDS. Size of page: 
736 by 414 inches. Livingston gives the size of a copy entirely un- 
cut as: 73 by 4% inches. 

The plates were designed by Mulready and engraved by William 
Blake. They did not meet with Lamb’s approbation. He characterized 
them as “damn’d beastly vulgarity,” and that the incidents depicted 
by some of the pictures were not mentioned in the text. Mrs. God- 
win, whom he called the “bad baby,” he blames as responsible for the 
selection of the titles to the plates. 

Charles Lamb, in writing to Manning, May 10, 1806, throws addi- 
tional light on the composition of this now famous book: “She [Mary]

is doing for Godwin’s bookseller twenty of Shakespeare’s plays to be 
made into children’s tales. Six are already done by her, to wit, ‘The 
Tempest,’ ‘Winter’s Tales,’ ‘Midsummer Night,’ ‘Much Ado,’ ‘Two Gen- 
tlemen of Verona,’ ‘Cymbeline,’ and the ‘Merchant of Venice’ is in for- 
wardness. I have done ‘Othello’ and ‘Macbeth’ and mean to all the 
tragedies. I think it will be popular among the little people, besides 
money. It’s to bring in sixty guineas. Mary has done them capitally, 
I think you’d think.”

London, 1823-1833 

FIRST ISSUE OF THE First Epirign. With three leaves of advertise- 
ment at end of the first volume,—Taylor and Hessey, 1823. The sec- 
ond volume has the two leaves of advertisement at the end,—Edward 
Moxon, 1883. 

After the first volume was published Taylor and Hessey, the pub- 
lishers, opened another establishment in Waterloo Place. Wishing to 
have this new address appear on the title-page, that leaf was reprinted, 
a new line appearing below the old address, so that the imprint reads: 
“London: Printed for Taylor and Hessey, 33 Fleet-Street and 13 Water- 
loo Place 1823.” With the new title on the same quarter sheet was 
printed a half-title. The first issue has no half-title. It is to the 
credit of an American bibliographer (Luther S. Livingston), that the 
fact became known that copies of the first series appearing with 
the imprint 18 Waterloo Place were of a second issue, at which time 
the half-title was inserted; therefore all copies with the half-title are 
second issue.

1065. Moore (GrorcE). Pagan Poems. 12mo, original cloth, somewhat 
worn. London: Newman and Co., 1881 
THE EXCESSIVELY RARE First EDITION, WITH THE GENUINE TITLE-PAGE, 
FORMING PART OF THE FIRST SIGNATURE IN THE BOOK, and on which 
Moore has written “7'0 my friend P. Beatty, I affectionately send this 
book as a token of the time I have given to the service of an art we 
both love and in which I, at least, have failed. G. M.” Moore has also 
corrected printer’s errors in several places throughout the book, and 
marked parts he particularly wished Beatty to read. Moore later 
inscribed the book, on the reverse of the front end-paper, “IJ am glad 
that I did not proceed further into an art in which I was was (sic) not 
destined to succeed. George Moore. September, 1921.” The excessive 
rarity of this volume, with the title-page, is well known, as Moore 
tore out the title-pages of practically all copies in existence.

A RARE SPECIMEN OF THE CLARITY AND NEATNESS OF POE’S SCRIPT. 
This fragmentary reminiscence of his great genius reads: The simple 
negative injunction of the Latin law and proverb—the injunction not 
to do ill to the dead—seems, at a first glance, scarcely susceptible of 
improvement in the delicate respect of its terms. I cannot help think- 
ing, however, that the sentiment, if not the idea intended, 1s more 
forcibly conveyed in an apopthegm by one of the old English moralists, 
James Puckle. By an ingenious figure of speech he contrives to imbue 
the negation of the Roman command with a spirit of active and 
positive beneficence. “When speaking of the dead” he says, in his 
“Grey Cap for a Green Head,” “so fold wp your discourse that their 
virtues may be outwardly shown, while their vices are wrapped up m 
silence.”

Vailima, Samoa, June 5, 1893 

THROUGHOUT STEVENSON’S PORTION OF THE MANUSCRIPT ARE NUMER- 
OUS CORRECTIONS, ADDITIONS AND ELISIONS IN HIS AUTOGRAPH. 

It is interesting to note the methods pursued by the Scotch author 
when a story was written by him in collaboration with Lloyd Osbourne. 
The latter has written that after a long discussion over some tale 
imbedded in their fancies, a complete list of the chapters were finally 
drawn out, after carrying it from one invention to another. In all the 
collaborations of these two writers, Osbourne almost always wrote 
the first draft “to break the ground.” Reticence was one of the char- 
acteristics of Stevenson which even extended to his meagre lavishing 
of praise, yet for the early chapters in this tale, he was very profuse 
in his expressions of its meritorious qualities. Though the composition 
of the first chapters really belong to Osbourne, IT IS WRITTEN ENTIRELY 


IN STEVENSON’S AUTOGRAPH. 
A VERY IMPORTANT) MANUSCRIPT BY STEVENSON AND EXCEEDINGLY DE- 


SIRABLE BECAUSE OF ITS COMPLETENESS.

[ No. 1878] 


THE EXCESSIVELY RARE ORIGINAL ISSUE OF THE FIRST TWO NUMBERS , 
the first with both the front and back wrapper and the leaf of adver- 
tisement at end, the second with the front wrapper intact but lacking 
the back wrapper. 

This short-lived periodical (only three numbers were issued) was 
edited by Prof. John Nichol. Swinburne was one of the chief con- 
tributors. In point of interest it stands second only to “The Germ’ 
in the list of Privately and Semi-Privately Printed magazine rarities. 
In the matter of scarcity it passes them all, especially so in the original 
parts, as above. 

This periodical was the official organ of ‘Old Mortality,’ a society 

founded at Oxford in November, 1856. Swinburne contributed four 
articles to it, the second of these, ‘Queen Iseult, Canto I,’ being his 
first published verse. 

Of the first number, in the original wrappers, only two copies are

known, the second being in the collection of Mr. James H. Aitken of 
Falkirk. Of the second number only this SINGLE COPY IS KNOWN, 
while of the third no copy has, up to the present time, been discovered. 
Besides these there are five copies containing the three numbers 
complete, but without the wrappers, that were bound up for the 
publisher.

THE GENUINE FIRST EDITION—IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS 


1379. SWINBURNE (ALGERNON CHARLES). Dead Love. Small 8vo, orig- 
inal printed wrapper of a brick-red with a distinct trace of orange.

cloth protecting folder, By THE ROSE BINDERY.

AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE AND WELL-NIGH IMMACULATE COPY OF THE 
EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE GENUINE ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION, NOT THE FRAUDU- 
LENT REPRINT. HENTIRELY UNCUT. Owing to its scarcity and the well- 
executed reprint, this is one of the most difficult of all Swinburne items 
to obtain in its genuine original state, as above. Laid in is a long cata- 
logue description going into minute detail as to the various points of 
difference of this original and the spurious reprint of the same. 

A very carefully executed but fraudulent reprint of the pamphlet was 
made about 1904. There are numerous very slight differences in 
spite of the care taken to make the reprint correspond with the origi- 
nal, but perhaps the most conclusive test is that in the genuine copies 
the L in London in the imprint at the foot of the title-pege comes 
directly over the final r in Parker, while in the reprint it comes di- 
rectly above the blank space between the words Parker and and.

ORGINAL MSS. BY SWINBURNE 


1382. SWINBURNE (ALGERNON CHARLES). Manuscript of “The Masque 
of Queen Bersabe.” THE OrtGInAL MANuscRIPT of one of the 
principal poems of “Poems and Ballads,” entitled “The Masque 
of Queen Bersabe,” written by Swinburne on 13 quarto and folio 
sheets of paper, many of the pages being covered on both sides, 
the manuscript showing many evidences of the way in which 
Swinburne rewrote lines and verses until he arrived at the one 
which suited him. Accompanied by part of the printed poem ex- 
tracted from the American edition of the “Laus Veneris.” En- 
closed in a full red morocco folder, with blue morocco lettering 
piece on front cover, cloth protecting flaps. | 1866] 


THE MANUSCRIPT IS COMPLETE, containing the first draft of the en- 
tire poem. <A very fine example. Swinburne has full play for his 
genius in the description each Queen or Beautiful Woman gives of 
herself as she appears before King David. And as Sappho, Cleopatra, 
Semiramis, Thomiris, Herodias, Messalina and Queen Bersabe ap- 
pear, the imagination is stirred by the beauty and melody of the poem.

16mo, Arts Club, Hanover Square, Feb. 21st, no year. To an unnamed

opinion of another as to my choice, I have sent my copy of Byron, 
marked and with leaves doubled at the proposed extracts, with num- 
bered list of contents as I propose they shall stand to Mr. Rossetti re- 
questing him to revise . . .” Swinburne refers rather sarcastically to 
his name figuring in a series which counts among its “Poets,” Tupper 
and Locker: “Jt is only the recollection that Palgrave with Wordsworth 
came after Locker which would make me willingly. consent to come 
after Tupper with Byron,’ ete. In the second letter he thanks him 
for cheque and says he is very impatient to see the book.

1386. SwINBURNE (ALGERNON CHARLES). OriGINAL AuTOGRAPH MANU- 
SCRIPT, unsigned, of his important article,—“Wordsworth and 
Byron.” Written in ink on 113 folio leaves, of blue paper, one 
side only, containing about TWENTY-FIVE THousAND Worps, with 
numerous emendations and corrections. Folio, full red French 
levant morocco, sides with triple gilt fillet borders, gilt panelled 
back, lettered in gilt on front cover. 

THE COMPLETE MANUSCRIPT OF ONE OF THE POET’S MOST BRILLIANT 
AND MASTERLY CRITICAL ESSAYS, AND POSSIBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT 
SwINBURNE MANUSCRIPT NOW PROCURABLE. Written in a clear, regular, 
easily read handwriting, with numerous changes, revisions, and modi- 
fications showing the development of the writer’s thought and feeling 
as the essay shaped itself under his hand and in his white-hot mind. 

As readers of the text know, this essay was called forth by Mat- 
thew Arnold’s publication of selections from the poetry of Byron and 
Wordsworth with accompanying critical articles in which Arnold 
placed these two at the head of all 19th century poets. Swinburne 
passionately asserts the rights of Shelley and Coleridge to this high- 
honour if it is to be awarded at all, and his argument in support of 
his contention is one of the finest pieces of literary criticism in the 
language. Swinburne’s intimate and exact—in the case of a profes- 
sional scholar it would be called erudite—knowledge of English liter- 
ature from Chaucer to Tennyson, is drawn upon and displayed on

every page; it is almost impossible to resist the logic and force of his 
reasoning as step by step he refutes Arnold’s position: while his mar- 
vellous command of language is everywhere apparent. The sentences 
rise and fall in tune with the thought and they range from the fieriest 
denunciation to the tenderest and most beautifully expressed appre- 
ciation and sympathetic understanding. As an illustration of his 
sterner mood the following passage may be cited: 

“Let me have leave, as a loyal and life long admirer of Mr. Arnold, 
to remark that no critical reputation can possibly survive much more 
of this sort of thing; that it is annually becoming more and more 
dificult for the most devoted and sincere good will to regard him as 
a serious judge or authority on questions of literature, or to answer 
those who think it impossible to be considered by steady-going and 
rational students as other than the most brilliant and the most hare- 
brained of all eccentric dealers in self-willed and intemperate paradox: 
and that surely no scholar, and still more surely no poet, can regard 
with equanimity such a risk of being confounded with the Carlyles 
and Emersons of his day as must inevitably be incurred by a writer 
whose estimate of Shelley is such as hitherto has found utterance 
only from Craigenputtock or from Bedlam, from Concord or from 
Earlswood.” 

As an example of another kind of writing, the closing sentences of 
the article are well worth quoting: 

“At the sound of the Ode to the West Wind, the stars of Words- 
worth’s heaven grow fainter in our eyes, and the nightingale of Keats’ 
garden falls silent in our ears. The poet who wrote that, and the 
poet who wrote Christabel,—but these alone of their generation—are 
indeed to be counted among the very chiefest glories of English poetry ; 
and it is surely no inadequate reward for the noble labour of a long 
and strenuous life, to stand where Wordsworth stands—but a little 
lower than these.”

This First Issue of six copies was printed in order to secure the 
English copyright. Soon after this Hotten reprinted the poem with- 
out authority, and copies of the spurious issue are frequently met 

‘ with. Perhaps the easiest method of distinguishing the two issues, 
that resemble each other quite closely, is the fact, that in the genuine 
copies a period follows the final word of the imprint at the foot of the 
title-page which is absent in the reprint.

his bookplate. Inserted at the end are THREE SIGNED AUTOGRAPH LET- 
TERS BY SWINBURNE RELATING TO THE WORK. (1). 4pp. 12mo, Holmwood,

on Thames Aug. 9th [1871;] (38). 2pp. 12mo0, Holmwood, Henley on 
Thames Noy. 7th, no date. All addressed to Frederick Locker and 
each accompanied by the addressed envelope in Swinburne’s auto- 
graph, with the original cancelled stamp. Laid in also, is an Auto- 
graph Letter Signed: “Hdmund Gosse.” 3pp. 12mo, 17 Hanover Ter- 
race, Regent’s Park, Dec. 20, ’18. To Mr. Birnell, referring to his 
published Correspondence of Swinburne, with mention of “Bothwell.” 
On the front fly-leaf is a pencilled note in the autograph of Locker- 
Lampson, and on the following leaf a visiting card of Swinburne’s, 
with mourning border. 

The “Rough Sketches” consists of 57 pages comprising five Scenes of 
Act I and twelve pages of the first Scene of Act IJ. It was issued 
stitched without title-page or bindnig. 

It was Mr. Frederick Locker-Lampson’s own copy, and has his 
bookplate and the following note written on fiy-leaf—‘J got these 
pages printed for Swinburne by Davy from his MS. as he feared he 
might lose it; he had half a dozen copies printed. It is full of errors. 
Do not cut it!!” 

Only some half dozen copies of “Rough Sketches” are believed to 
have been printed and of these but a single copy beside the present 
one is known to be in existence.

London, 1872 

FINE COPY OF THE First EDITION, AND ONE OF THE VERY RARE COPIES 
OF THE EARLIEST ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL LEAF, pp. 41-42, INTACT AS 
ISSUED. It is believed that only about four copies of this Suppressed 
Leaf were preserved. The above copy contains both this cancelled 
leaf, intact, and has the substituted one tipped in. This leaf, pp. 
41-42, was suppressed as certain of the expressions used in relation to 
the characters of Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King” were exceedingly 
coarse. Has the leaf of “Errata” tipped in at end. 

“Under the Microscope’ was Swinburne’s reply to Buchanan’s at- 
tack of Rossetti and himself in “The Fleshly School of Poetry,” first 
published in the Contemporary Review for October, 1871. In 1872 
Buchanan answered this by a poem called “The Monkey and the 
Microscope,” published in 1872, and finally in December, 1875, Swin- 
burne wrote “The Devil’s Due,” in reply to Buchanan’s last attack.

MOST INTERESTING LETTER ON PRINTERS BY SWINBURNE 


1397. SWINBURNE (ALGERNON CHaruEs). Autograph Letter Signed, 10pp. 
12mo, Henley-on-Thames, Dec. 26th [1875]. To his publishers 
Messrs. Chatto and Windus.; Also, letter from E. H. Clowes of 
Wm. Clowes & Sons, to Messrs. Chatto & Windus, 1p. 12mo, 
Dec. 30th, 1875. Accompanied by a report from their Proof 
Reader. Together, 3 pieces in a cloth folder enclosed in a cloth 
slip-case with a red morocco back. [1875 | 


SWINBURNE’S LETTER TO Mr. CHATTO IS A VIOLENT LETTER ON THE IN- 
COMPETENCE OF PRINTERS, and refers to his poem “‘“Erechtheus.” 

Throughout the letter, and particularly on the last page, both style 
and handwriting of the letter betray a perfect frenzy of agitation 
with which the frigid comments of the printers,—‘“‘not marked in press 
proof,” “Not marked distinctly for alteration,” make an amusing con- 
trast. The following is an excerpt from Swinburne’s letter: 

“Perhaps a week's hard work will enable me to find out all the 
blunders of those—the printers; who have done their utmost to dis- 
figure my book & misuse the good type & paper you have given it... . 
Again, & again, & yet again have I corrected them, & seen you do the 
same—é these dogs pay no more heed than at first. It is insufferable 
—no human patience could stand it . . . these hounds can see noth- 
ing. The appearance of the page is disgraceful—a chaos. But I begin 
to despair—it seems useless to write or speak.” 

The letter from William Clowes & Sons, Printers, to Messrs. Chatto 
& Windus, publishers, reads,—‘We are sorry that Mr. Swinburne 
should be annoyed with such curs of printers, but we forward the 
reader’s explanations and can assure you that he is one of the best 
in the trade.” 

The explanation by the Proof Reader of Clowes & Sons, bears the 
heading “The errors named by Mr. Swinburne as disfiguring his poem 
‘Erechtheus’ arose principally from the following causes .. .”

MOST INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT SWINBURNE ITEM AND OF 
SUPERLATIVE IMPORTANCE 


1406. SwinBuRNE (ALGERNON CHartzs). First Trial Undivided Galley 
Proofs of,—(1) Lesbia Brandon. Galleys 25-97 of this unfinished 
and suppressed Novel; (2) Mary Stuart. Galleys, 1-24; John 
Jones. Galleys, 98-101. In all 103 Galleys imposed two on a 
sheet, printed on one side of sheet only. The proofs of each is 
described below. Enclosed in a brown cloth portfolio, with cloth 
protecting flaps. London [1877] 


A SWINBURNE ITEM OF UNUSUAL INTEREST. ONLY FIVE SETS OF THESE 
PROOFS WERE PRINTED, AND OF WHICH ONLY THREE SETS OF EACH ARE 
KNOWN. AS STATED ABOVE THESE PROOFS ARE UNDIVIDED. 

In the autumn of 1877 Swinburne one day entered the office of his 
publishers, Messrs. Chatto and Windus, and handed to the late Mr. 
Andrew Chatto a parcel of Manuscript, informing him that this con- 
tained the Ms. of a novel, and instructing him to have it at once set 
up in type. It then became apparent that the poet had by some means 
got his manuscripts mixed up, for the proofs turned out to be, not those 
of a novel, avowedly unfinished, but a mixture of “Mary Stuart,”. 
“Lesbia Brandon” and “John Jones.” 

These galleys comprise the following,— 

(1) Lespia BRANDON. Galleys number from 25 to 97, inclusive of 
97a and 97b. A SWINBURNE ITEM OF SUPERLATIVE INTEREST AND IN IM- 
MACULATE STATE OF PRESERVATION. ‘THESE GALLEYS COMPRISE THE 
PROOFS OF AN UNFINISHED AND UNPOPULAR NOVEL. They commence 
with four lines of poetry beginning “Dis moi done, la blonde,” and 
close with the unfinished sentence, “At any minute some evil and hor- 
ror nameless.”’ 

As stated above these galleys are printed on one side of the leaf 
only, two galleys or columns to the page, the full length of galley 
being 13% inches and the width 314 inches. 

One of three known sets of these proofs. Until quite recently this 
work has been entirely unknown to most Swinburne collectors. Mr. 
Wise says of it in his Bibliography of Swinburne: ‘“Lesbia Brandon 
was a serious attempt to write a sustained novel upon conventional 
lines. It differs altogether from Love’s Cross Currents, for that is a 
romance cast in the form of letters, and is of a class by itself. The 
novel was in all probability planned and commenced in or about 1859, 
and was continued at intervals until the beginning of 1867, when 
Swinburne advised Burton that he had it in hand. The story is un- 
questionably autobiographical, and the hero is a distorted image of the 
youthful Algernon. As such it is of interest, but the whole thing is 
morbid and unwholesome, and no regret need be felt that Swinburne 
failed to continue and complete the work. But the point of greatest 
interest attaching to these proofs of Lesbia Brandon is that they in- 
cluded, introduced into the text as said or sung by the several char-

acters, a number of poems with the majority of which we have long 
been familiar in Swinburne’s published works.” 

(2) Mary Sruart. Galleys number 1 to 24 inclusive. Printed on 
one side of the leaf only, two galleys or columns to the page. 

One of three known copies that were struck off by mistake at the 
same time as the Lesbia Brandon proofs. These proofs comprise Act 
I and a small portion of Act II of this play, afterwards published in 
1881. It is quite evident that the type set for these galleys was dis- 
tributed, and that the whole was set up afresh when the time came 
to print and publish the Tragedy, as neither types nor leads employed 
in the galleys are identical with those used in 1881. : 

(3) JoHN JONES. Galleys number 98 to 101, inclusive, comprising 
the IV chapters, in all 44 stanzas of four lines each. Printed on one 
side of the leaf only, two galleys or columns to the page. 

One of three known copies struck off at the same time as the Lesbia 
Brandon proofs. The poem was afterwards published in The Hep- 
talogia 1880, but this first printed draft differs greatly from the final 
version.

WORKS BY THACKERAY 
FINE COPY OF THE FIRST ISSUE 


1543. [THackERAY (Wit~t1AM MaKkeEprEace).| The Second Funeral of 
Napoleon: In Three Letters to Miss. Smith, of London. And 
the Chronicle of the Drum. By M. A. Titmarsh. With front 
wrapper containing picture of Napoleon by Thackeray, frontis- 
prece and 3 full-page woodcuts. Square 16mo, full dark blue 
levant morocco, gilt, gilt paneled back, gilt top. 

London: Hugh Cunningham, 1841 

First EpIirion. THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE AND SCARCE ORIGINAL 
ISSUE. FINE PERFECT Copy. This copy is entirely of the original issue 
as shown by the following identifying marks: (1) The picture of 
Napoleon on the wrapper has six lines on the cheek, the reprint having 
only four; (2) The frontispiece has the title “Tomb in the Chapel of 
the Invalides,” the reprint without title; (3) On page 120 are five 
stars, the reprint having but four. 

The leaf at the end advertises “Dinner Reminiscences” by Mr. M. 
A. Titmarsh as “preparing for immediate publication.” 

Thackeray had not yet finished writing “Vanity Fair,” and so had 
not become famous at the time of writing this pamphlet. He was in 
Paris at the time Napoleon’s body was brought there from St. Helena, 
and though it is one of his finest pieces of descriptive writing, he 
realized nothing from the sale of it, and it became lost to circulation 
almost immediately.

Boston Evening Transcript, Sept. 2, 1908. Part. I. Page 2 of cover, 
the collation calls for “Content of No. I [etc.],” while this copy has only 
“Contents” on the first line. No. XVI has “(Price 1s. for “Price, 
1s” as required by the collation. No. XVII. has no date below the im- 
print, and the first iine of the advertisement on p. 8 reads “To Ladies,”’ 
which, according to the collation should be on page 4, but this is a 
printer’s error in the collation. No. XVIII lacks 4 pages of advertise- 
ment in front, and the Waterloo & Son advertisement, Spp. in back. 
Hight parts contain the original tissue paper between the plates, show- 
ing the offset from the plates. 

This copy contains all other points of the first issue; the “Vanity 
Fair” on p. 1 in rustic type, the suppressed woodcut of the Marquis 
of Steyne, the advertisement of “The Great Hoggarty Diamond,” ete. 
etc. In only two numbers are the plates at all foxed, and those very 
slightly.

The “Essay on Thunder and Small Beer” was written in answer to 
his famous criticism which appeared in the “Times,” probably from 
the pen of Samuel Phillips, the author of the novel “Caleb Stukely.” 
The “Times’” review was absurd, and Thackeray replied to it.

FINE copy. Scarce. The frontispiece to this volume has been etched 
by Mr. Herkomer, from his water-color portrait of Cecil Lawson. 
painted in, 1876. “The Swan and the Iris” has been etched by Mr. 
Whistler, from lLawson’s unfinished picture of that name. Mr. 
Herkomer has etched the first rough study of the “Hop-Gardens of 
England,” and the steel plate gives the final scheme of the same pic- 
ture. The remaining illustrations are cuts of sketches drawn on 
wood by Cecil Lawson, or facsimiles of studies by his own hand, and 
must be considered merely as indications of the general character of 
some of his less known work. 


1583. WHIsTLER (JAMES MoNerit). Mr. Whistler’s “Ten O’Clock.”

First Epirion of Whistler’s famous lecture on Art which is, per- 
haps “the most interesting profession of artistic faith ever made 
by an; artist.” 

The odd title was bestowed upon the lecture because of the fact 
that Whistler delivered it before his audience at the late hour noted 
as he said “he did not wish people rushing from their dinners to 
hear him.”

First Epition. No. 13 oF 150 Copres PRINTED THROUGHOUT ON JAPAN- 
ESE PAPER AND SIGNED BY THE PUBLISHERS. 

The authoritative biography of Whistler by the Pennells, to whom 
the artist imparted much data not previously incorporated in any 
similar work. 

Laid in are Two FINE AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED By WHISTLER, 
franked, one fastened to reverse of each front cover. Both letters are 
addressed from Paris to Gleeson White, and are very charactristic of 
the writer. From the first (4p.) 1893, we quote,—To put a shot in 
the leg of a friend, when aiming at the scampering rabbit, I have 
always thought a damnable awkwardness not to be pardoned—yet the 
friend I am told forgives—il a le beau réle—and admits that the game 

- may be scarce—and that the principle remains the same, ete. 

In the second letter, 4pp., Signed with the “Butterfly,” and written 
in 1894, Whistler praises Gleeson White’s article, refers to his 
(Whistler’s) pictures having left England, also to a collector who 
refused to consider any larger sum than he gave for one, and many 
other points of interest.

by himself for insertion in the newspapers on the anniversary of his 
65th Birthday. It bears his signature in the headline, and also in the 
body of the manuscript. 

“To-day is Walt Whitman’s 65th birthday, as he was born at Hunt- 
ington, Long Island, May 31, 1819. . . . He commenced his famous 
‘Leaves of Grass’ in 1855, and thenceforward adding new instalments 
every few years, completed it in 1882. He engaged in the Secession 
War as a volunteer nurse of the army wounded, working practically 
and ardently (but ‘on his own hook’) on the battle fields and in the 
hospitals, for over three years. . . . Besides the poems of ‘Leaves of 
Grass’ he has written and published a book of prose, ‘Specimen Days 
and Collect. . . . The Poet now lives in a little old house he has 
lately bought near the Delaware river, in Camden. Though crippled 
permanently from his war paralysis, appearing at first sight much 
older than he really is and averaging two or three pretty bad spells 
of sickness every year, he writes a little all the time, retains his 
buoyancy and cheeriness without the least diminution, is thankful for 
every word and deed of kindness from his friends, loves the open air 
and the sights of active life, and manages to get out in them almost 
every day. He sells his books himself (‘to keep a certain animal from 
the door,’ as he expresses it). .. .”

a full red levant solander fire-proof case, with inner cloth covers. 

SUPERB WILDE MANUSCRIPT OF UNUSUAL INTEREST, Wherein Wilde’s 
intellectuality is graphically portrayed. <A description accompanying 
the item reads: “Both from the literary and the personal point of 
view this unpublished Commonplace Book is of very great interest. 
It reflects his intellectual life, illustrates his wide culture and is full 
of personal touches revealing his strange character. 

“On page 3 his large point of view is indicated; in connection with 
the tragedy of Wilde’s own life which came from his oversimplification 
of the problem of life. On page 5 we find his interest in sociology. On 
page 37 there is a French quotation of utmost personal significance. 
“Dans la vle morale il est beau de quelquefois faire naufrage. 

“One may mention his thoughts on Italian art (page 37); On 
punishment (page 39); On Roman Literature (page 41); On Law 
(page 49); On Poetry (page 55); On English Thought from Bacon 
(page 59) ; On Slavery (page 63) ; On the Renaissance and the Hmpire

(page 77); These references will give some idea of the wide range of 
interest of this unpublished book. 

“The short essays on Idealism and Realism (page 101); Necessity 
(page 171); Beauty (page 185) ; and Philosophy (page 189), are all 
especially good. On page 69 Wilde writes ‘Progress is the assertion 
of individualism’; and on page 197 he quotes: . . . ‘The condemnation 
which a great man lays upon the world is to explain him.’ It is mani- 
fest that Wilde was thinking of himself when he wrote these words.” 

The recto of the leaves of this manuscript have been written upon 
while the verso was used for afterthoughts and interpolations. Not 
having been published, there is an absence of corrections, written in 
a fluent vein, with evidences of interruption either in thought or ex- 
pression here and there. 

From the J. B. Stetson collection, with his book-label.

THOMAS J. WISE’S FINE ASHLEY LIBRARY CATALOGUE 


1685. Wise (THomas Jamus). The Ashley Library. A Catalogue of 
Printed Books, Manuscripts and Autograph Letters Collected by 
Thomas James Wise. The first three volumes. With an Intro- 
duction to each volume, as follows: Vol. I, Richard Curle; Vol. 
II, Augustine Birrell; Vol. III, Edmund Gosse. With frontis- 
preces, and over 500 facsimiles. 3 vols. 4to, cream colored buck- 
ram, gilt tops, uncut. London, 1922-1923 

Kdition Limited to 200 copies, Printed for Private Circulation. 

A MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO BIBLIOGRAPHY, Which already has 
taken its place among the standard reference works of English Litera- 
ture. The contents of the catalogue is evidence of the literary knowl- 
edge and untiring industry of this collector—who now numbers among 
his possessions not only items which are of excessive rarity, but 
which are actually unique—and the completeness and accuracy of his 
record of these items have made the work one of superlative im- 
portance in its field. 

The collection is composed of First Editions of English poetry and 
drama, from Elizabethan times to the present day, and Mr. Wise has 
not omitted any author whose work has constituted a worthy contri- 
bution to this literature. In several instances the collections of indi- 
vidual authors recorded in the catalogue form complete biblio- 
graphies, and a few among those to whom this statement may be 
best be applied are, Ben Jonson (the plays), Milton (poetry and 
tracts), Dryden, Pope, Gay, Gray, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Byron 
and Swinburne. 

There is a careful collation for every volume represented—a feature 
which in itself speaks the praise which the work so well deserves. 

The catalogue is to be completed with the issue of Vols. IV and V.
